Relaxed Boo at the Zoo

When: Friday, 31 October 2025 | 3pm–4pm

What to expect:

  • An earlier entry time

  • Smaller crowds

  • Softer sounds and fewer surprises

  • All the same tasty treats and spooky fun!

 

Families are welcome to stay on after 4pm when the zoo opens to the full crowd – just be aware it might get a bit louder and busier.
